Case studies

Nine patients, with the plan that got them there.

Ages and timelines are exact. Where a result took longer than we hoped, we have said so.

Week 12

Inflammatory acne, age 27

Eight years of on-and-off antibiotics. We stopped everything for three weeks, rebuilt the barrier, then ran six medicated peels alongside tretinoin.

Boxcar scarring, age 34

Four sessions of RF microneedling at increasing depth. Progress stalled at session two, so we added a subcision at session three.

Texture and pores, age 31

The easy one. Four microneedling sessions and a home routine of three products, replacing the eleven she arrived with.

Post-inflammatory pigment, age 29

Fitzpatrick V, treated with low-fluence toning only. Slower than a peel would have been, and far less likely to rebound.

Sun damage, age 52

One fractional resurfacing session and five days of honest downtime. He was warned twice and would still describe day three as unpleasant.

Month 7

Fine lines, age 46

A course of polynucleotides and two conservative injectable sessions. The brief was that nobody should be able to tell, and nobody could.

Month 9

Hormonal acne, age 24

The slowest case on this page. Two false starts, a change of prescription at month four, and a result we are still improving.

Clinical photography setup at Glow Lab
How we photograph

Why our before-and-afters look less dramatic than most.

Every frame on this site is shot in the same booth, on a fixed rig, at a fixed distance, with a chin rest to hold the angle. No downlighting on the "before" and no soft ring light on the "after", which is the oldest trick in this industry and the reason most clinic galleries are worthless.

We also photograph under cross-polarised and UV filters, which show pigment and vascular change that ordinary light hides. Those are the images your doctor works from, and you get copies of all of them.

If a result only exists under better lighting, it is not a result.

Where a patient's outcome was partial, we have said so on the card. Three of the nine cases above took longer than we predicted at the consultation.
